The urn on the right seems graceful and delicate compared to the sturdy acanthus motif on the left. But it is worth turning that drawing over and taking a look at the reverse, long-obscured through its mounting in the album. The image it contains affords a fleeting glance into the workshop: it shows a draughtsman or printmaker from behind, busy at work.
